ELIX – European Electricity Index
The European Energy Exchange AG (EEX) and EPEX Spot SE are going to publish a new European electricity price index - the European Electricity Index ELIX - as of 2010-10-18.
ELIX will be calculated on the basis of the aggregated bid/offer curves of all EPEX Spot market areas according to the auction rules valid for those market areas. The index indicates the uncongested price for those market areas and thus corresponds to the market price in an integrated European market. Currently, EPEX Spot market areas comprise Germany, France, Austria and Switzerland. These market areas cover 36 percent of the total European electricity consumption.
ELIX will be calculated on a daily basis for the following day and be provided to the public on the websites of EEX and EPEX Spot. Additionally to the values of each of the 24 single hours, the average values for baseload (ELIX Day base) and peakload (ELIX Day Peak) will be calculated and published on the websites.
